RadiatorEmblems

This page is dedicated to pre war car emblems and interesting post war emblems I want to present to you the most beautiful and the most rarest emblems on this page. To my knowledge the first enameled radiator emblem was on the French Brasier 1904. From this time on thousands of these nice artifacts were mounted on the radiator to identify the car. If you send me a picture from your favorite emblems I´ll post them with a comment. ON THE RIGHT SIDE YOU WILL FIND AN ALPHABETICAL LIST OF CARMAKERS.

HASSLER / USA

A small car of short life and very limited production, the HASSLER was available only as a two seater roadster.

HOUK wire wheels were standard equipment [Georgano].

So what you see on the emblems are these wire wheels.

Several Hasslers were shown during the automobile show in Chicago in summer 1917.

May be that it was the total production as the founder decided that it is not the time to place a new car on the market.

an original Hassler radiator emblem was sold via ebay for more than $ 1,000 in 2017

Dimensions	4.3 cm x 6.9 cm
Year	1917
Estimate

As it is rare and expensive Harry Pulfer of California reproduced this emblem in the nineteensixties:

Welcome

I started collecting radiator emblems in 1976. I remember this clearly because I had to give my first car to the local scrapyard. It was a still nice looking Volkswagen squareback. The scrapyard director was interested in my car and I was interested in the emblems of all cars in the field. So a deal was made. And I went home with a bucket full of emblems. Later I've been on swap meets all around the world. I started buying emblems on Ebay in 1999. From this time on prices became comparable for the first time. This made it possible for me to invent a five-star system to categorize emblems based on their rarity and value.This table is applicable for original emblems in a good but not perfect shape. Not for reproductions.
